Container Gardening by Wikipedia

Container gardening or pot gardening/farming is the practice of growing plants, including edible plants, exclusively in containers instead of planting them in the ground.[1] A container in gardening is a small, enclosed and usually portable object used for displaying live flowers or plants. It may take the form of a pot, box, tub, basket, tin, barrel or hanging basket.

Tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, cucumbers, cabbage, and beans should be planted in at least a five-gallon container. Beets, carrots, lettuce, and green onions can be planted in three-gallon containers. Most herbs and radishes grow well in containers of one gallon or less.

Container Gardening Demonstration by Andrea DeLong-Amaya

by Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center 29/4/13 YouTube

In this episode, I sit down with Shibero Akatsa, a 65-year-old woman who made a choice many would question, to build a mud house while living in Karen, one of Kenya’s most exclusive estates.

Shibero chose an intentional life rooted in slow living and conscious living, honouring her African heritage in a space often associated with modern luxury and excess. Her home is not about aesthetics or trends, it is about alignment, memory, and living deliberately. In a world that constantly tells us to chase more, Shibero reminds us that wealth is not only what you own, but how you live. That our culture holds beauty. That our traditional ways were not backward. And that life was never meant to be rushed through , it was meant to be lived.
